Microsoft delivers public beta of its Office 365 cloud bundle

As rumored last week, Microsoft made available on April 18 a public beta of its Office 365 bundle of Microsoft-hosted applications.

From All About Microsoft:

In October 2010, Microsoft introduced an invitation-only, limited beta of Office 365 — the successor to Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), Live@Edu offering and its Office Live Small Business service. Microsoft officials said that more than 100,000 organizations signed up for the beta.

Those interested in kicking the tires of the new public beta, available in 38 markets and 17 languages, can sign up at http://www.Office365.com
